Here's a couple emails.

Him:

no matter what you say no animals disserve to be in any cage and we do not own them to recreat their naturale habitat we own them for our own pleasure and you think you know every thing but you really dont so stop making stupid assumpions

Me:

You are ridiculous.

If you think reptiles shouldn't be in cages, WHY are you keeping leos, a beardie, two sulcatas and several snakes IN CAGES.

You are a child. You live with your parents and obviously they are not supervising you. I would NEVER let a child get away with treating animals the way you are.

I am a second year Zoology student with my own apartment, and my own animals and EVERYTHING I own is set up in a naturalistic environment so that their stress is at a minimum.

Your sulcatas are BOTH pyramided, your beardie is nearly black and COVERED in stress markings and your tegu lives in the BATHROOM on a cold tile floor devoid of substrate.

I keep reptiles so I can observe their natural behaviors, and yes, enjoy them.

You seem to keep reptiles so you can BRAG about your big lizard, and big tortoises and your OH so scary snakes.

Your reptiles are being mistreated.

And the sad part is you are willingly, and knowingly, doing so.

Him:

wow ok one sulcata has pyamiding because when i got from the pet store it already had it and my beardie is dark because of its sand

and what am i doing that is so bad to my animals

and my tgu is in there because im building a shed what do you want me to do throw it outside like its previous owners

also the tile may be cold but if my tegu fells cold it goes and basks soooo there is nothing wronge there

Me:

Wow.

I hope you enjoy what you are doing to her. You seem to have no problem with it.

People like you shouldn't be allowed to LOOK at animals, let alone own them.
